Chapter 96: A Crucial Client

As for everything else, it simply never crossed my mind.

But this time was different. Once bitten, twice shy.

If I did not get to the bottom of it, and Qin Yunhao stabbed me in the back later, I would still be helping him count the silver.

At those words, Qin Yunhao gave an awkward smile, as though he did not wish to touch on the subject.

"I am only a middleman, that is all..."

It was only that Peach had been busy all along and had not noticed. When she saw Guo Nianfei turn his head, she hurriedly lowered hers and took a couple of sips of coffee.

"Shut up! You are not allowed to keep calling Chen Gongnan your brother-in-law!" An'an was obviously angry, and the sort of anger that had already reached the edge of an eruption. Yang Ziyu naturally obediently shut his mouth; after all, he had seen how formidable his sister could be.

The Green Wolf Beast King's several assaults all ended in failure, with heavy losses in men and horses. A bellyful of rage had nowhere to go. Yet what they were most unwilling to see was that at this very moment, Master Huai Zhi, all along assisting Khan Gele, had led the main force in a grand advance, killing their way to the plains beneath Five-Demon Mountain.

The people of the Purple Moon Blood Fox clan, whose pressure had now greatly eased, noticed Ye Xuecheng's attack. He had launched it from several miles away.

Ziling was seated calmly on the ground at this moment, wisps of spiritual power rippling around her, lending her the look of an immortal maiden from a painting, beautiful beyond measure.

Thinking this, Lin Peng hurriedly wiped himself down, changed clothes, and dialed Heitong Hiron's number.

No sooner had the words fallen than the white flame on Tu Su's forehead blazed even brighter, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged violently into the tree tower.

Si Yi stood at the center of the spiritual platform, countless specks of light circling around him. He had asked for the disappearance of the specter at the cost of his own life and the price of never being reincarnated, yet the platform itself began to sway, as though unable to grant that wish.

During this past month, everyone had undergone tactical training, mountain cross-country runs, weighted marches, physical conditioning, and so on; they could truly be called special operations soldiers in every sense.

"Big sister, dear big sister, Sister Xue'er, I want kisses!" Guo Nianfei had thrown caution to the winds. After all, school was out, and even if he called out, no one would hear. Hearing this, Ling Xue'er felt so thrilled she was nearly beside herself. "Brother Nianfei is so well-behaved," she said, and then she kissed him, the two of them embracing in a lingering kiss.

The mangled gray wolf somehow staggered back to its feet, though its right eye was so badly swollen it could no longer open.

Zhou Mi, upon hearing this, quickly stuffed the money into her bag. Once the money was in her hands, it would be impossible to spit it back out.

Mu Yu nodded, though inwardly he was secretly astonished. He had not expected such a high-grade space stone to be so scarce. Then the space ring left by his mother must also be an item of inestimable value.

Long Moxuan stared at his father. Leng Yurou gently pushed him, and with a smile he let go of Leng Yurou's hand and was the first to open his arms.

"Trying to run? Not on your terms." After speaking, Yang Tianhua rose and leaped forward, landing in front of Leng Xue and blocking his path. Leng Xue looked at Yang Tianhua coldly.

The day was fair and bright, with warm sunshine everywhere. After Ling Tian got up and washed, he came downstairs to find Kexin and Old Master Chen having breakfast. Ling Tian greeted Old Master Chen, while Kexin kept her head lowered and paid him no mind.

Long Moxuan gave a bitter smile. After bathing, he lay on the bed, yet no matter how he tried, he could not fall asleep. For a while, his mind held the timid, aggrieved look of Ling Xuewei; for a while, it held Leng Yurou's expressionless, haughty coldness, and his heart was thrown into utter irritation.

A string of numbers left everyone stunned. The first strike was the damage from Gale Break, and the final blow was a fatal critical hit, instantly killing the bat.

"Brother, take me out to have some fun. After all, there is nothing much to do today." Ziya Ning lazily shook Si Kong Muqi's shoulder, shaking him until he was dizzy and his eyes twitched.

Fei'er immediately stepped forward and hugged Mu Yu's arm, smiling. "Our little fish was always a heaven-defying existence to begin with. Paired with a golden dragon, it could not be more perfect! Right? Right?" After saying that, she kept asking the others in turn.
